Which mascara should you choose? Types of mascara wands

Before you buy a mascara, answer one basic question “What do you expect from your eyelashes?’. Do you want them to be longer, thicker, more curled? Do you prefer when your lashes are perfectly separated and slightly accentuated or when there is an effect of false lashes? In fact, the question about your expectations for your eyelashes will provide an answer to the question regarding your perfect mascara. Which mascara should you choose? Find out how the type of a wand affects the final effect.

A simple wand is a classic brush used in mascaras. All of the bristles are of the same length. Women either like it or have a neutral attitude towards it, because it’s relatively easy to use. This brush separates eyelashes and gently lengthens and thickens them. It is a good choice for women with nice and healthy lashes that don’t need dramatic changes.

A big wand thickens and adds volume to the eyelashes. It will work well for those complaining about short and thin lashes. However, improperly used, the brush can stick together the hairs resulting in a very unnatural, exaggerated effect. For this reason, the big wand is a good idea for big events that require strong make-up.

A tapered wand makes it possible to reach all eyelashes, even the shortest and thinnest ones in the corner of the eye. This is due to the narrow end of the brush, the wider side thickens the lashes. This wand is often chosen by women whose eyelashes have different lengths. A special variation of the tapered wand is the brush tapered on both sides, which allows even more precise application.

A curved wand allows you apply mascara with just one stroke, because it has been created to fit every eyelash. It’s a good choice for women who want to spend as little time on make-up as possible or have long and stiff lashes. Such wand will lift and curl them.
